StratFit secures patent, flexes plans for explosive progress with platform in-built Google Workspace

StratFit founder Daniel McKee powered into 2023 with the launch of StratFit Digital MVP, superior coaching design software program for private trainers and coaches. 

Inbuilt Google Workspace, StratFit Digital’s Technique Design Drive integrates McKee’s “super-system” with superior instruments that make it straightforward to entry and use. 

“[With StratFit Digital], I’ve been engaged on separate capabilities for ten years. I put collectively a large library of the performance on my Google Drive,” mentioned McKee.

StratFit Digital permits customers to develop exact coaching packages for athletes/shoppers. Trainers and coaches can design a selected long-term program for an athlete. Customers can intuitively devise and management a very powerful coaching variables with precision. 

The software program’s proprietary analytics system empowers customers to optimize coaching for peak efficiency. Customers might also view projected probably outcomes of coaching months prematurely to foretell efficiency.

McKee initially developed Stratfit as a “scientifically-designed health platform” the place elite energy coaches may design coaching packages, submit and monetize the content material, and model their companies. He based StratFit based mostly on almost 20 years of non-public coach expertise and intensive research of weightlifting, powerlifting, and bodybuilding literature.

With StratFit Digital, trainers set up a StraftFit.web account and achieve entry to a coaching technique design sheet, coaching implementation sheet, and a number of other analytics sheets, mentioned McKee. 

Exercise blocks on the design sheet are full of performance based mostly on the StratFit Utilized Science System. The blocks “empower the coach to design coaching actions that result in exact variations within the athlete/consumer.” Block variables embody coaching depth, repetitions, units, adaptation for particular physiological objectives, and different capabilities.  

Trainers can stack exercise blocks to create a coaching session that may be formatted into coaching weeks. The weeks are stacked to create mesocycles, a gaggle of coaching weeks with a selected function.

Information from a design sheet populates a coaching implementation sheet which feeds an analytics sheet. The analytics sheet options graphs and charts for particular workout routines, common depth, heaviest weight lifted per day and week, and different elements.

A coach can start coaching by “coming into the athlete/consumer’s coaching maximums for every occasion. In the event that they don’t know the lifter’s maximums, StratFit Digital incorporates a device to estimate them based mostly on the lifter’s biometric information,” mentioned McKee.

Train in enlargement

StratFit plans to launch a beta model of StratFit Digital in 2024 that features a native consumer app and Technique Retailer.

“Customers worldwide can search and buy a coach’s technique. That is the scalable model of StratFit Digital. Proper now we need to have interaction with severe coaches and trainers,” mentioned McKee.

McKee is planning conferences with the Kansas Metropolis Comets, Turner Boxing, and William Woods School in Fulton, Missouri. He plans to display StratFit Digital and his Energy Coaching Arsenal gear to the Comets and Turner Boxing.

We need to present what our complete system can do to peak elite athletes for competitors.  We need to prepare them to dominate,” mentioned McKee. “With William Woods, we need to work with their train science division, get the concepts of the StratFit system of Utilized Science into the tutorial world, and assist their athletes excel as effectively. I’m seeking to do a doctoral thesis on the system this 12 months. I’l be working with established train science professors transferring ahead.”

Highly effective patent

StratFit’s Energy Coaching Arsenal consists of the Explosive Power Coaching Machine. A tool is loaded onto every finish of a barbell. The coach adjusts the peak of the system based on the train and the lifter’s top. Weight plates are loaded onto the gadgets based mostly on the lifter’s energy. The system mechanically adjusts and lessens the load load in the course of the backside place of a squat, enabling the lifter to maximise the explosion of upward energy. 

“There’s merely no different approach to prepare for explosiveness with this stage of efficiency. That is large for athletes whose sports activities require explosiveness, similar to soccer, soccer, basketball, baseball, boxing, and monitor and discipline,” mentioned McKee.

McKee secured a patent on a key function of the Explosive Power Coaching Machine. The mounting head, the half that mounts the system to the bar, options electromagnetic performance. A chrome steel finger holds the gadgets on the barbell. 

“When the underside of the system kisses the ground, this causes a change to kill the magnetic drive, releasing the system from the barbell. The 2 gadgets talk with one another in order that they unload concurrently. A kill change can drive the gadgets to remain on the barbell if the coach engages it,” defined McKee.

The electromagnetic mounting head improves on primary mechanical weight releasers which can be generally used.

These releasers are “clunky mechanically. The 2 sides are unbiased and trigger unbalancing. Our electromagnetic performance makes the load on either side successfully ‘disappear’ from the barbell. This instantaneous and simultaneous unloading is what makes the motion ‘explosive,’” mentioned McKee.

The Acceleration Power Machine is the opposite device within the Energy Coaching Arsenal. The chains on these gadgets “layer an accelerating drive sample on high of the explosive sample that the Explosive Power Units causes.” 

Because the lifter raises the barbell, hyperlinks of the chain unpile and enhance the load of the barbell.  The lifter’s muscular tissues acknowledge that the load is rising. To take care of pace, the muscular tissues are compelled to speed up drive manufacturing.

“The gadgets within the Energy Coaching Arsenal assist develop energy by way of constructing explosiveness and acceleration. Energy is the important thing capacity for many main sports activities,” mentioned McKee.  

StratFit’s gadgets had been co-designed and engineered by McKee’s pal Scott Johnson. Alpha-Omega Industries, based mostly in Harrisonville, manufactures the gadgets.

Wanting forward, McKee goals to develop StratFit Digital and his gadgets into a world product. 

“StratFit Digital will have an effect on the tutorial world of train science,” mentioned McKee. “We imagine we are able to make Kansas Metropolis often known as a hub for coaching science and health tech.”
